From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Laurelin Paige comes a new story in her Found Duet series… have passed. Kids have been born. We’re still in love as always, and the sex is still fantastic…
And yet, it’s also not. Like many who’ve been married for a while, I long for the high intensity of those days of the past.
I’ve heard rumors for years about the Open Door. An ultra-exclusive voyeur’s paradise. A place to participate in—or watch—any kind of display you can imagine.
My husband’s eyes would still be on me. And maybe other eyes too. If that’s what we want.
So when an invitation to come play arrives, how could we turn it down?
Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.

This is HOT!
Well I needed a cold shower after reading this!!!! It was awesome to catch up with Gwen and JC again after so long, I absolutely loved their duet so it was good to see how they were getting on!
Minus the Open Door invitation, it’s a very realistic insight into a marriage and how over time life can get in the way.
Gwen is feeling a bit insecure in herself after having their 3rd child, the effects of another pregnancy taking its toll on her body and her mind. She knows JC loves her but she feels like there’s something missing.
When an Invitation to The Open Door pops up in her inbox, Gwen and JC embark on a journey of sexual discovery, pushing their boundaries and becoming closer with every experience they encounter.
But are they biting off more than they can chew? Will they go too far and risk not being able to come back from it?
Enter the Open Door to find out!
Delicious and sexy!
Gwen and JC are back in The Open Door. This novella can be read as a standalone, but I found it extremely satisfying as an extended epilogue from The Found Duet. We see these two lovebirds years after they’ve been married, had kids, and had life get in the way. Until JC receives an invite to The Open Door, a provocative voyeur’s delight secret party. Can it rekindle their romance, or will it drive them apart? I love Ms. Paige’s prose, it flows evenly, the characters are superb, and we get another glimpse into their lives. This was an extremely hot book that had me panting, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
I’m so much like Gwen. Curious. Intrigued. The thrill of the unknown. Read this to find out how a happily married couple spiced up their sex life with dirty talk, touching, watching, engaging… the allure of being watched, getting caught up, mixed up in their desire for one another. How far are you willing to push the boundaries before it’s too late? A must-read that will leave you asking, how far am I willing to go to spice up our sex life? You will not be able to put this book down!Laurelin Paige Has outdone herself with this touching story of married life with kids and rekindling that fire.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Laurelin Paige is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
The Open Door and exclusive steamy sexy club that you can only attend with special invites!!
OMG it just doesn’t get steamier and sexier!!! Laurelin Paige most definitely raises my temperature!
We catch up with Gwen and JC a few years down the line of marriage and kids!! They are still so in love, but kids and life always catches up with your couple time right? So when they get an invite, it starts Gwen on a little chain of thought, maybe they need something to bring back the spark? Maybe it would revitalise their already good sex life? Maybe it might be erotic and exciting? The one thing they are sure of is that neither of them under any circumstances would want other people touching them.
Oh how i loved this novella, it just felt so real in ways, all relationships need work, and Laurelin writes in ways that just carry you over to experience it all as if you are part of it!! I loved how it just affirms their love for each other and left me grinning from ear to ear !!!
Laurelin Paige did an outstanding job with this provocative novella. This is a story about love, love between a man and woman—a married couple, Gwen and JC, who have been married for eight years with three kids. Although they loved each other, taking care of the kids, and whatever time they had for sex was good but somewhat boring. Gwen longed for the intimate times they had before all the kids. JC gets an invitation to the exclusive sex club called The Open Door—anything and everything can happen there—participate or not—a voyeur’s paradise. Discussing this with Gwen, they decided to take up the offer and accept the invitation. Read Gwen and JC’s journey—it is one hell of a crazy ride! The storyline is fluid, and it will pique your interest.
Reading Open Door by Laurelin Paige is like visiting old friends – JC and Gwen.
Ms Paige pulls you back into their love story but it’s now 8 years and kids later and while the love is still stronger than ever there is some doubt and insecurity with Gwen. It doesnt help that JC comes home with a membership to Open Door a sex club which Gwen is unsure about but wants to please her husband, and that’s where the story starts to get interesting.
It was so good going back and revisiting Gwen and JC. The story is told from Gwen’s POV so we get to feel her love for her family but the insecurity that I think all women face. The story is fast-paced and just as hot as the first 2 books in the series. This is a continuation of JC and Gwen’s story so you have to read the first 2 books in the Found series but if you havent yet then I highly recommend it. All three a fantastic end of some reads!
HOT DAMN!
What a sexy as hell read…
Well, to be honest, I was not expecting what I got when I dived into this. I knew it was going to be a sexy read. It’s a Laurelin Paige book, it was a given. The author has written some of the sexiest books I’ve read before… and this was no different, and like most her other books, it held more than kinky sex, and bdsm elements. It held depth, and I actually feel like I’ve taken something positive away this book. Whether that was the authors intent or not, I’m not sure.
JC and Gwen are a favorite couple of mine and it was good to dive into their story a couple of years down the track. They are back and they’re married, with three kids and I am no parent but those that are can probably relate to the way of life they now live, and how much things have changed for them. Nappies and sleepless etc, and work work work… It is a routine that can be so easy to fall into for any married couple with children, but after JC brings home an invitation to The Open Door (sex club) where you go and watch and even play sometimes. The invitation is too good to pass up, but after having three children Gwen isn’t 100% sure she is comfortable enough with her own body to participate in front of many others… She’s hesitant and I can completely understand that side of it, but JC manages to convince her, and it honestly didn’t take much. He adores her, he loves her beyond belief and is loyal, loving and caring, so how can she not trust this mans words?
So, once they both agree… It’s off to The Open Door, and holy fuck shit… As I said above, I knew this was going to be a hell of sexy read but… I was not expecting it to almost melt my kindle in my hands. It was seriously off the charts kind of hot and I devoured every single word… And although this is short steamy hot novella it still managed to hold more than just sex. It kind of gives out a message that just because you are married, and have children and your life has settled in a way yet is chaotic in another way… It doesn’t mean you can’t get out there and have fun with the person you love and that sometimes it is healthy to spice things up, to have fun, And that even though Gwen’s body may have changed after having children and she may not be 100% comfortable in her own skin, it doesn’t make her any less desirable, and JC proves that time and time again… He’s the perfect husband! Well that’s what I got from this novella, and in my opinion, every word was perfect, but I shouldn’t have expected anything less than perfect from Ms. Paige. Her writing is always flawless and it’s so easy to fall into a plot and lose the sense of time, or even day because I just get so fixated with her words, and the way she weaves them together to create a masterpiece such as this. This is definitely going on my re-read pile and I am praying she puts this in audio form! Absolutely loved this book!

JC and Gwen were hot. Love how they put spice in their marriage. A must read by Laurelin Paige.
JC is one of my favorite guys in Laurelin Paige’s lineup of heroes. I enjoyed catching up with Gwen and JC and seeing them spice things up between work, kids and marriage. The Open Door is a real eye opener for them and JC is so understanding and supportive of Gwen’s desires, they’re as hot as always. I think the conversation between Alayna, Norma and Gwen was my favorite part because it was hilarious and also highlighted how far these characters have come since their own stories.
5 HOT SEXY STARS!! HOT, HOT, HOT and SEXY!! This novella had me drinking ice cold water all the way through. JC and Gwen know how to turn up the heat after marriage and kids….my kindle was burning up. These two will have you flipping pages. I totally recommend this hot sexy read.
Oh what a hot AF novella!!! The Open Door finds Gwen and JC years into their marriage, raising 3 young boys. They found a way to reconnect in a hot AF way. I absolutely loved getting this glimpse into theirs after their HEA.
“You want to know what my kink is?”
“What?”
“My kink is you.”
Holy Hannah this is one sensual,sexy, down-right hot little story!!
I think anyone who’s been married, or in a relationship for a long time, can notice a little (or a big)dip in the level of steam between the two of you. Life happens. Work, kids, you know, just….stuff, can get in the way, distract you, zap your libido.
JC and Gwen were always a hot couple, but this? This is off the charts!! Taking advantage of the gift of a membership to the exclusive Open Door club, they revisit their mutual kink, which pales in comparison to what they see at their first Open Door party, and explore some new ones – ones that surprise them both, and one that nearly ruins everything.
But this couple is strong and so utterly perfect together that nothing can destroy them. So amazing!! Definitely pick this one up! Read how JC and Gwen got their start in the Found duet!!
Wow this was one smoking hot story Gwen and JC were so intuned to each other I loved their characters and the passion oh the feels this story gives us. I loved their shock at the Open Door what a great experience to open up their eyes and see different things and then evaluate themselves and be comfortable. To be married and have the comfort of openness was everything and so beautiful. I loved it
Eye balls bulged, mouth hanging open, bated breath – check, check and CHECK! All common symptoms of reading The Open Door by Laurelin Paige. One of the most heated novellas I’ve ever come across, and it is jam packed with the most delectably sinful moments you’ll encounter. As a reader that is not familiar with Gwen’s and JC’s background, I can vouch that this is a perfect standalone novella, and no prior knowledge of their story is needed. Laurelin Paige adds touches in this story that are so relatable and sensational. This was a definite page-turner for me. I LOVE how much JC is in love with Gwen. He’s most females’ dream man – seeing all the perfection where she only sees flaws. Loving her in her most vulnerable state, and letting her know that she is the ONLY one for him. SWOOOOOOON! And the heat factor in this book is through the roof. JC and Gwen are a magical and stankin’ HOT couple. This novella – GRAB it quick, but make sure your A/C is on HIGH!
*** Scorchin’ HOT!***
Let’s face it. After a few years of marriage bliss, a couple of kids, and life and its complications, married life loses some of it luster. So what do you do in order to put the spark back in your marriage bed?
Every woman goes through this one time or another after having kids and just trying to stay together while trying to be “superwoman”. You get the kids settled, you cook dinner, do the dishes, the laundry and by the time hubby comes home, you are lucky you are still awake and able to string two words together. Add to that having a career as the owner of a successful bar lounge and you start wondering if you are both happy in your marriage bed. Is the sex you are having still satisfying the both of you?
When an invitation to the exclusive by invitation only sex club comes in, wouldn’t you be tempted to try it out to see if you are missing something? JC and Gwen are both delightful. She is rather shy but still wants to make sure the spark does not go out of their relationship. JC is easygoing and totally in love with Gwen. If she is happy, he is happy. As they venture to find if there are positions or techniques they have not tried before, they are both swept up into a world that is totally different from what they are used to. Rules are made, rules are broken, so what will they do when crossing the line is way too much for one of them?
This is a very real perspective of what a marriage goes through as you question yourself if you are still keeping the fires burning for your spouse. An amazing adventure!
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy of this book with me.
I absolutely love this book. It was great reading about Gwen and JC. The way they tried to spice up their love life was sexy and hot. They could observe or play a part. They were tuned to one another and I loved that part. The communication between them was amazing. They learned a lot about themselves and what they like and don’t like to spice up their sex life. This book took you through that and loved how was it played out. Highly recommend reading this book. You won’t regret it. Very sexy and smoking hot
